German chef Johannes King jets into Niyama to host two
exclusive five-course dinners. Owner of the Michelin-starred Sölring Hof, Chef
Johannes will serve modern European cuisine paired with a selection of wines in
a stunning setting 500m out in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
Chef Johannes began his career at the prestigious Franz
Keller restaurant in Cologne specializing in French nouvelle cuisine. He then
trained under master pastry chef Karl Schumacher at Viennas Konditorei
Oberlaa, perfecting the traditional desserts for which the café is renowned.
Chef Johannes relocated to Berlin to work at Henri Levys Michelin-starred
restaurant, Maître, then joined the culinary team at the InterContinental in
the upscale Tiergarten area.
Chef Johannes found his passion for fresh, seasonal, locally
sourced dishes at Hôtel de la Poste on the Côte DOr, known for its regional
Burgundian cuisine. His experience here inspired him to open his own
destination restaurant in 2000. Sölring Hof on the island of Sylt commands two
Michelin stars and 17 Gault Millau points. Gourmands from far and wide have
made the pilgrimage to the island to taste Chef Johannes modern textures and
light flavors in a surreal landscape.
For two evenings only, on 29 January and 2 February 2018, Chef
Johannes will bring the cuisine of Sölring Hof to Niyamas Edge.
Edge is a modern, fine dining paradise accessible only by
speedboat. Set out over the lagoon tinged with the hues of sunset, Edge offers
wrap-around seating under a billowing white canopy and sits above the Maldives
only underwater playground, SubSix. Across Niyamas two islands, Play and
Chill, guests are treated to one-of-a-kind epicurean adventures, from Asian
avant-garde cuisine in the treetops to South American barbeque deep in the
jungle.
Boasting a 24-hour spa and the world's first underwater
nightclub, the luxurious Niyama Private Islands Maldives is a tropical paradise
which offers a quiet private beach and amber sunsets.
Spacious and modern, the studios at Niyama Private Islands
Maldives are located on the beach or over the crystal lagoo. Each villa has a
secluded deck that offers pure privacy to luxuriate in al fresco rain showers,
moonlit dips, or an intimate afternoon basking in the sun.
